Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
Nan premye jou twazyèm mwa onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 Son of man Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
-Nonm o! Pale ak farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Di yo. -Jan ou gen pouvwa sa a, Kisa mwen ta di ou sanble la a!
3 Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
Bon. Ou tankou yon pye sèd nan peyi Liban avèk gwo bèl branch li yo plen fèy ki bay gwo lonbraj, yon pyebwa byen wo ak tèt li pèdi nan nwaj yo.
4 The waters made him great, the roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth unto all the trees of the field.
Lapli tonbe fè l' pouse Rivyè anba tè fè l' grandi. Gwo dlo pete nan tout rasin li yo. Yo fè kannal wouze tout pyebwa nan zòn lan.
5 For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
Paske li te jwenn anpil dlo, li te grandi, li vin pi wo pase tout lòt pyebwa yo. Branch li pran fòs, yo vin byen long.
6 Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty nations.
Tout kalite zwezo te vin fè nich nan branch li yo. Se anba branch li yo bèt nan bwa vin miba. Se nan lonbraj li anpil nasyon vin chita.
7 Thus became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty waters.
Se te yon bèl pyebwa byen wo, ak branch li yo byen long. Rasin li yo te desann byen fon nan dlo anba tè a.
8 Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, tree in the garden of God, was like unto him in his beauty.
Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen pye sèd tankou l'. Okenn pye pichpen pa t' gen branch tankou pa l' yo. Okenn pye sikren pa t' gen ti branch konsa. Nan jaden Bondye a, pa t' gen bèl pyebwa tankou l'.
9 Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
Mwen te fè l' byen bèl ak anpil branch. Nan jaden Edenn lan, jaden Bondye a, tout pyebwa te anvye sò l'.
10 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
Koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Paske li te grandi byen wo a, paske tèt li te pèdi nan nwaj yo, li kite lògèy vire tèt li.
11 Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
Se poutèt sa, mwen voye l' jete, mwen lage l' nan men gwo chèf tout nasyon yo pou fè l' peye tout mechanste l' yo.
12 Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned him:
Yon bann moun lòt nasyon vini. Mechan pase yo pa genyen. Yo koupe pyebwa a, yo lage l' atè. Ti branch li yo gaye sou tout mòn yo ak nan fon yo. Gwo branch li yo kase, yo tonbe nan tout ravin nan peyi a. Moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo, tout met deyò, yo kite l' pou kont li.
13 Upon his trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: —
Zwezo vini poze sou rès pyebwa ki atè a. Bèt nan bwa ap mache sou tout branch li yo.
14 To the end that none of the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into the pit.
Konsa, depi jòdi a, yon pyebwa te mèt wouze byen wouze, li p'ap janm rive wotè sa a ankò. Li p'ap janm grandi pou tèt li rive pèdi nan nwaj yo ankò. Yon pyebwa te mèt byen wouze li p'ap rive wotè sa a ankò pou l'ap gonfle lestonmak li sou mwen. Tout pyebwa yo gen pou mouri tankou moun, yo gen pou yo desann al jwenn moun ki deja anba tè yo.
15 Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (Sheol h7585)
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Jou pyebwa a desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap fè dlo anba tè a kouvri l' nèt, pou tout moun ka nan lapenn. M'ap fè dlo larivyè yo sispann koule. M' p'ap kite ankenn dlo koule nan kannal. M'ap voye yon gwo fènwa sou mòn peyi Liban yo. Tout rakbwa nan zòn lan pral deperi poutèt li. (Sheol h7585)
16 At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (Sheol h7585)
Lè mwen voye l' jete nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, bri li fè lè l'ap tonbe a fè tout nasyon yo tranble. Tout pyebwa nan jaden Edenn, tout pi bèl pyebwa nan peyi Liban, pyebwa ki te byen wouze yo men ki te desann ale deja nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pral kontan tonbe li tonbe a. (Sheol h7585)
17 Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Y'ap desann ansanm avè l' nan peyi kote mò yo ye a pou y' al jwenn sa ki te mouri nan lagè anvan yo. Lè sa a, tout moun ki t'ap viv nan lonbraj li yo pral gaye nan mitan tout lòt nasyon yo. (Sheol h7585)
18 Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Nan tout pyebwa jaden Edenn yo, kilès ki te bèl, kilès ki te wo tankou ou? Men koulye a, tankou tout lòt pyebwa jaden an, ou pral desann ale nan peyi ki anba tè a. Ou pral jwenn moun ki pa pote mak kontra Bondye a, moun ki mouri nan lagè yo. Se sa k'ap rive farawon an ansanm ak tout pèp li a. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
